Kevin Means is the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Sapient Investments. The firm is built upon Kevin’s experience and expertise in portfolio management, quantitative modeling, risk management, and asset allocation. As a former long/short equity hedge fund and mutual fund manager, chief investment officer, asset allocation strategist, and director of quantitative research, Kevin’s background is ideally suited for managing Sapient’s portfolios.
Kevin began his career as an Equity Portfolio Manager and Director of Quantitative Research at Invesco Capital Management. Towards the end of his tenure, he became the CIO of Invesco Management and Research.
After working for Invesco, he was the CIO of Equities at Aeltus Investment Management (the Aetna investment subsidiary), where he was responsible for the firm’s $22 billion in equity assets under management and served as the Lead Portfolio Manager of various mutual funds totaling $11 billion.
Subsequently, he was the Founder, Managing Partner, and CIO of Alpha Equity Management, a firm that managed a variety of long/short hedge funds and mutual funds. He developed the quantitative models and disciplines that guided the firm’s investments and served as the Portfolio Manager of all of the firm’s funds, including a Morningstar five-star long/short mutual fund.
He then founded Select Alternative Investments, a predecessor firm to Sapient Investments with a very similar investment methodology. SelectAlts specialized in alternative ETF portfolios designed to provide a low correlation to both stocks and bonds.
Before founding Sapient, Kevin was the CIO at a wealth management firm where he redesigned the stock selection methodology and revamped the asset allocation models for mutual fund and ETF selection.
Kevin has a BA in Economics from The College of William and Mary, an MA in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, and an MBA from the University of Virginia. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst.

About Wealthminder
Wealthminder was created for one simple reason: To help people get the financial assistance they need to achieve their long-term financial goals.
Wealthminder is a database derived from SEC.gov data covering every Investment Advisor Representative in the country. We work hard to collect and provide you the information you need to find a financial advisor who’s right for you.
Finding a Financial Advisor through Wealthminder
Historically finding and hiring a financial advisor was hard. Wealthminder was built to make the process much easier.
The best way to use Wealthminder is to take advantage of our free proposal system. All you have to do is take a few minutes of your time to describe your situation and the assistance you are looking for.
Wealthminder then sends your request to our network of prescreened financial advisors. If a financial advisor is interested in your business, they will submit a proposal to you.
You review the proposals you receive and decide if you’d like to have a follow-up call with one or more of the financial advisors.
Throughout the process, you maintain control. We only share your contact information with a financial advisor once you ask for an introduction.
